The Vuelta a España burst into life with the toughest stage so far, to Balcón de Alicante. There was a desperate escape from the last chance saloon by Team DSM, a crash for one member of Movistar’s trident and a clutch of dangerous riders climbed back into contention.
Richard Moore and Lionel Birnie dial up Daniel Friebe in Spain to discuss the action. Richard wastes no time claiming the stage winner Michael Storer for Scotland. We discuss the impact Alejandro Valverde’s crash and departure from the Vuelta will have on Movistar’s other two leaders, Enric Mas and Miguel Angel Lopez. We hear from Pavel Sivakov about the timing of one of Storer’s attacks, from Chris Hamilton about his victorious teammate and ask Roglic the burning question of the day – have you seen the Netflix documentary about Movistar?
